Assigned readings
for
Emanuel Swedenborg's
Heaven and Its Wonders
and Hell
You are encouraged to read any chapters
of this book that look interesting to you, but the chapters listed below
are the required readings
Start with the book's Introduction by Lang
because it sets the context for the rest of the book. You don't need
to read the entire Introduction, but read through any parts of it that
look interesting to you, and then answer the first SQ accordingly.
(If you had the time, the introduction that
would really be best for you to read is Wilson Van Dusen's book about
Swedenborg and his teachings, The Presence of Other Worlds)
